A member asked:
Could dry sockets cause intermittent pain rather than continuous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Dry socket pain is usually continuous once it starts. One should see their dentist as soon as they suspect a dry socket. The dentist can place a soothing dressing that usually stops the pain in a few minutes.
